6 million fewer Democrats voted in 2016...

Trump didn't out poll Romney.

Obviously the 10,000,000 Obama converted into David Duke-ites stayed home 11/8.

What a pity!  I sensed complacency on the part of the Democratic party in the few weeks leading up to the election.  Lots of discussion about the polls being wrong due to all of the people being polled lying about their preferences for Trump, but no one seems to have taken such speculation seriously.  Turns out that Clinton never even set foot in Wisconsin during her entire campaign!

You have an alleged criminal as you primary candidate. One who has shown to be grossly incompetent (Benghazi) and who has sold out the state department for personal gain (pay for play) and worse yet have committed treasonous act by selling iran/russia the rights to 20% of the US's uranium..

What is frightening is that almost 1/2 the voting country showed up to vote for her anyway.

Now before you try and defend these accusations, know that I don't care. Your people lost ON THESE ISSUES Meaning the majority of the people in the country could not get behind a candidate for this very reason. (your 6 million no shows and the reps who voted for trump)

Now you can go on pretending that if you just explain a little more those 6 million people will drink the koolaide with you again, and you can loose the next election as well. or you can learn from this and get behind someone who is less crooked..

This is just bullshit.  Hillary has not been indicted, let alone convicted.  Compare that to Trump, a rapist, sexual abuser, money launderer, tax cheat, etc.; not to mention that he is also a lying, racist pig.

I think it's just the pendulum swinging the other direction. It was bound to happen.

Political change is kind of like the Keeling Curve:

Fellow democrats is one thing, but what about the crew running the DNC ?

If the poohbahs are oblivious to inconvenient truths like Dewey Defeats Truman, Humphrey being a no termer, McGovern being a no termer, Carter being a 1 termer, Gore being a no termer, Mondale being a no termer, Kerry being a no termer, what is it going to take to get them to pull their heads out of the asses ??

I exercised my right to not vote, and yet I am not complaining about the direction the country went.

What would George Washington say?

"Look, Martha, a Tory."

I was tempted to skip voting on the election, I'll admit that.  Mostly because I have a fairly busy life and having to stand in line for 3 hours to vote wasn't exactly fun.  I remember before, back in 2012, the wait to vote was maybe an hour.  In 2008, it was like 10 minutes.  When I hear pundits talk about voter supression, I kinda wonder if this is what they mean: making voting prohibitively time consuming.  Truth is, I can see people with medical issues or with children to deal with or busy lives in general not having the time to vote.
